'Pro-Gay' CEO Does Business With Countries That Execute Homosexuals

This major CEO has come out in support of those who are seeking to scuttle the Religious Freedom Restoration Act; so why does his company do so much business with foreign countries that execute homosexuals and trash religious freedom?

(The Daily Signal) Apple CEO Tim Cook has taken to The Washington Post to tell
the nation that, in the words of the headline, "Pro-discrimination 'religious
freedom' laws are dangerous." Notice the scare quotes around "religious
freedom." But the reality is that the only person in favor of discrimination in
this debate is Tim Cook.

It is Tim Cook who favors laws that discriminate against people of faith who
simply ask to be left alone by government to run their businesses and their
schools and their charities in accordance with their reasonable belief that
marriage is the union of a man and a woman. It is Tim Cook who would have the
government discriminate against these citizens, have the government coerce them
into helping to celebrate a same-sex wedding and penalize them if they try to
lead their lives in accordance with their faith.

This is a debate about whether or not the government should be able to coerce
people into violating their belief that marriage is the union of a man and a
woman.

Cook opens his op-ed by claiming the Indiana Religious Freedom Restoration Act
is part of a spread of evil across the nation: "There’s something very dangerous
happening in states across the country. A wave of legislation, introduced in
more than two dozen states, would allow people to discriminate against their
neighbors." This is simply false...
